The Walk to Emmaus - Part 1
Students may read Luke 24:13-27 or through verse 35
On Sunday afternoon, two men walked along the road from Jerusalem to the village of Emmaus. They talked about Jesus and how people were saying he had risen from the dead. As they walked, “Jesus himself drew near and went with them.” But they did not know it was him. Jesus asked them what they were talking so earnestly about. The two men were surprised at his question. They thought everyone knew about the recent events and reports “concerning Jesus of Nazareth.”
Discussion Questions
Why do you think Jesus appeared to them? The two men soon learned that the stranger who walked with them knew all about the topic of their conversation. Jesus also spoke to them at length about the scriptures. Why?
